According to Telegram, our chat group was being misused by scammers to run crypto scams. 😂
As we all know, crypto scammers spammed our group daily, and I removed their posts whenever I noticed them. Unfortunately, Telegram seems to have mistaken those scammers as part of our YET audience.
Given this, I’m unsure if creating another group is worth the hassle. What do you think? Should we continue with just this broadcast channel or create a new group?
